2. Make bat wings from an old umbrella:
3. A picture frame and some non-toxic paint can turn you into a work of art in minutes:

If you want to be especially relevant, dress up as something from the news:
6. Like the giant eyeball:
7. The iPhone 5:
8. The Jesus fresco:
9. The Mars rover:
10. Or Paul Ryan:
11. ...A vampire!

23. Spider and web:
24. Bank robber:
